Hack Design is a design course taught by some of the world's most prominent designers. This free resource teaches you the techniques and tools of good design through playing with design puzzles and games.

The lessons are delivered to your email inbox each week, with links to articles, tutorials, and cheat sheets as well as task lists to get you thinking about good design and working towards improving your skills. Some of the instructors/course curators include designers who have worked on Fitbit, Pinterest, Square, and more.

The first two lessons, available now, introduce the importance of design and discuss what it is. Next week is the Typography Crash Course, with a very compelling kerning game.

Although the program is tailored for programmers, anyone interested in learning about design (whether for the web, a mobile app, or anything else) can follow along and use Hack Design's resources. Sign up below to start learning about or improving your design work.
